Comment: Jacare was stopped with strikes for the first time since he fought Mousasi in Japan nine years ago. It’s a crushing defeat for the Brazilian who was on the road towards a UFC title fight. Now, with two losses in his last four fights, Souza has a bigger hill to climb. Ironically, this loss comes days after signing a new 8-fight deal with the UFC.

Comment: The light heavyweight and middleweight WSOF champion makes his return to the UFC next month against Jotko. It will be Branch’s first fight in the octagon since 2011 when he was submitted by Rousimar Palhares. Since that fight, he is 12-1.

Comment: Although Gastelum knocked out Vitor Belfort last month, he also failed a drug test for marjiuana metabolites. He’s under a provisional suspension until a hearing is held and his win over Belfort remains on the books, although it’s possible it gets overturned to a No Contest.
